    This one, I think? The female lead is immortal and takes on disciples, raising them until they're fifteen before sending them out to gain experience. Her immortality doesn't mean her disciples are immortal; several disciples die while she survives. She tries to stay out of trouble and avoids anything involving the chosen one. The only time she gets involved with a chosen one is when that person tries to cause her trouble, and she kills them outright. However, this story leans towards a dark cultivation genre, with a bunch of villains. The first disciple's fate is truly heartbreaking; I cried so much.
